What Will I Feed Them???

First of all let me say that I am happy that my kids are good eaters, butI just had to write this post because....well, frankly...I am pretty grossed out!
Keep in mind I have 3 kids and the oldest is 4 years old. The following is what was consumed today for lunch by my children (just the kids - this doesn't include my food):

1 full package of hot dogs
3 Peaches
A tupperware of leftover hamburger meat
About 2 Cups of Mustard (they filled their plates when I took Alaria up for a nap and ate it with their fingers. Yuck!)
2 Bowls of Cereal
2 Pieces of toast with peanut butter and jelly
3 cups of milk
2 cups of juice

I also have to throw in that the other night we had tacos for dinner and Cole at 5 tacos and Josh had 3. These were full size tacos like Kris and I were eating - fully loaded!

Wow! What I'm really worried about is how I am going to feed them when they are teenagers!

Oh my! Little boys do eat a lot, and the mustard...that sounds absolutely yummy.

Yeah, good luck with the feeding teenagers thing! I don't know how moms do it!

WOW!!! You're right, what will it be like when they are teens AND their friends eat over too!!!

I usually finish off my kids meals before they get a chance too, otherwise, they'd probably eat just as much:):):)

I have the opposite problem--my kids eat like birds!! Good luck with keeping them full!!

Okay, Tyler and I were laughing SOOOO hard reading that. You've gotta be kidding me! I'm lucky if I can get my kids to eat that much in a week! The funniest part is how SKINNY they are! I seriously can't picture either of them scarfing that much food down! Although, they're both so active, they must just burn through the calories in 2 hours. Sorry I didn't notice your other Florida post. Thanks for putting more pictures on! It was fun to see!

Michelle I hate to say it but you have two little Kris' on your hands. Kris could eat at a buffet all day, never gain a pound and never feel full. Good Luck feeding all three of them!!

I agree with Jamy! That's a week's worth of food for my kids! I think I'm glad I have my grocery list & bill & not yours!

Ok sorry, but I just read the list of food to Grove & he was like - do they only eat once a day?
In his words, "that's un poco loco". I'm still laughing Michelle!

Are you serious? They must take after Kris, I still don't know any other person that eats as much as Kris and stays so skinny. You better start increasing that grocery budget little by little. I can't even imagine feeding them when they are older. My kids do not eat like that. I'm lucky to get Aubree to finish a 1/2 a sandwich at lunch.

and I must add that I'm super jealous. I wish I could eat like that and stay so skinny. Life would be BLISS!

Whoa.....I thought my kids were good eaters! They go through days where I cant seem to get them full. Good Luck!
